Bloody, fleshy pink lump in nostril (Photo)

August 31, 2023
Asked By:GloriaHills in Scotland, United Kingdom

I’m around 4 months post op. 25 days ago the inside/top of my nose started bleeding and it hasn’t stopped since. It’s not heavy bleeding but it is constant, so every few hours when I go to the mirror there is a ball of blood, sometimes mixed with mucus. Then a few days ago I noticed a painless lump. My surgeon is In Turkey. I asked what it could be and they said it’s normal and not to worry. Can I have a second opinion please? Sorry for the gross pictures

Is radix augmentation necessary for dorsal hump removal if you have a low radix?
Jacob Tower, MD says:

Hello, hope you are well. That is a great question! It really depends on the individual's nose and surgeon's experience. With a very deep and/or low radix, lowering the dorsum to match it's height can look excessive. I tend to prefer a mixed approach of lowering the dorsum to the desired height,...
